Marshall, Jenny and All-Star Pete are the ManchVegas Outlaw Society (M.O.S.), a trio of adventure-seekers who deliver hot dogs, newspapers and lemonade to the citizens of Manchvegas (really Manchester, New Hampshire) by day, and solve mysteries by night. When a young finishing school student named Melinda disappears and is presumed dead, her boyfriend Vince is named the prime suspect. Soon, more young women are found murdered. With a several suspects in their midst, Marshall and M.O.S. decide to investigate.
First impressions are always important, but so is not taking things at face value. Such is the case for MONSTERS, MARRIAGE, AND MURDER IN MANCHVEGAS, the latest from Matt Farley and Charles Roxburgh, who were the same dudes behind FREAKY FARLEY. The setup is kind of goofy, I'll admit. Sort of like an episode of Scooby Doo (minus the weed and talking dog), MONSTERS, MARRIAGE is a nice throwback to 50s and 60s comedy (something like what MONSTER BEACH PARTY pulled off), with a dose of fun mystery thrown in.
Right away, I have to give a tip of my hat to Farley and Roxburgh. In keeping with the spirit of their inspirations, MONSTERS, MARRIAGE was shot entirely on 16mm! In this day and age, where can you find a low-budget indie flick being shot on such a format (besides here, I mean)? Obviously, the film isn't carried by this alone, as Roxburgh works some smart magic from behind the camera. The setups work, albeit in their cheesy nostalgic way, and the pacing is quite nice for what seems like a complicated premise.
To go along with the smart direction, the acting plays another big part of why the film works, as does the humour. Keeping in mind that the M.O.S. are made up of adults, the actors run with the idea of being big kids. Farley clearly enjoyed himself with his Marshall character, as did Marie Dellicker as Marshall's love interest (and fellow M.O.S. member), Jenny. Their scenes together offer up more of that 50s and 60s film throwback, both in terms of both the humor and the characters' genuine affection for each other. Add to that some rather silly but downright catchy songs written by the M.O.S. themselves, you'll chuckle more than a few times.
Like MONSTER BEACH PARTY, however, this film will have a polarizing effect on those who watch it: you either get the goofy humour presented here, or you don't. Complicating matters is the fact that a subplot involving things called Gosperkaps (who sound like Jawas) doesn't really pan out, even though it and the main plot are interwoven. Throw in some questionable acting by supporting cast (even if this is a low budget affair), and the film ends up having the potential to turn off more people who don't get it in the first place.
Still, all that matters in this review is my worthless opinion. MONSTERS, MARRIAGE, AND MURDER IN MANCHVEGAS is an offbeat trip that's fun to watch if you're in the know. Farley and Roxburgh have put together something that has enough charm and originality to it that warrants at least a viewing, if only for songs like 'Basketball Fun' or to catch cuties Marie Dellicker and Sharon Scalzo.
Video: MONSTERS, MARRIAGE, AND MURDER IN MANCHVEGAS is presented in an 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer. Given that the film is shot on 16mm, there's consistent grain throughout the picture, as well as a few small cases of dirt and dust. Detail is also hit or miss at times, but it's all part of the nostalgic throwback of the film stock.
Audio: The Dolby Digital 2.0 stereo track matches the video in preserving the nostalgia. Dialogue is clear and crisp, with no distortion. The music is the big standout, though. It'll get in your head and STAY.
First up is commentary by writer Matt Farley, who phones up director Charles Roxburgh on occasion to get his take on the film. Unfortunately, Roxburgh should've been in on the commentary from the start. Farley is knowledgeable with his production stories and tidbits, but doesn't sound overly enthusiastic while doing so, and leaves long gaps in the track while thinking/watching the film. Informative, but another case of a solo commentary in need of another member.
Up next is a collection of featurettes, the first being Making of Manchvegas. Consisting of behind-the-scenes footage mixed in with on-set interviews with cast and crew, it's informal, but informative and fun. Following that is a short collection of Outtakes, consisting of line flubs and actors cracking up.
Hurricane! is another short ditty, involving the crew being forced inside a parking garage due to the remnants of Tropical Storm Hanna belting out more than its fair share of rain. The featurette then segued into stories of humidity, bug bites and how some folks decided not to show up for the shoot one day, so in came the improvised script.
Influences obviously covers the influences on the film, including THE PIT, THE CREATURE FROM BLACK LAKE and even SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE III.
Manchvegas/Manchester goes over the crew's views on Manchester, New Hampshire ('the little train that could'), and the fictional town of Manchvegas.
The featurettes finish up with Aftermath, which takes a look at the crews opinions and views on the production, first acting experiences and more.
Overall, these bite-sized featurettes help show how much love and fun went into the making of the film, and really just makes the film that much more charming to watch.
Finally, there are trailers for FREAKY FARLEY, DRUID GLADIATOR CLONE and ADVENTURES IN CRUBEN COUNTRY. That's fine and all, but where's the trailer for this film?
An offbeat film that you either get or you don't, MONSTERS, MARRIAGE, AND MURDER IN MANCHVEGAS is one that runs on the charm and goofy fun of 50s and 60s films. Like it or not, you have to applaud the effort these folks put forth for the film, and the featurettes only reinforce this.

A "Jubliant Sweat-Fest"
It is Thursday night and I'm going to abstain from physical activities today after I was crowned the dancing queen of San Francisco last night. In lieu of my much needed physical exercise, I'm going to exercise my mind…as always, for your benefit.
Since arriving to San Francisco I've been struggling to ascertain what exactly is going on in the yoga scene out here. What I have uncovered so far is that almost no one dares to say that "yoga is not for them." No, no, that would be very un-California. One must have a healthy body, but more importantly a healthy mind-spirit…or spirit-mind. Anyway, I've said that there doesn't seem to be quite the concentration of yoga studios here that I was once used to, and even so it seems like the yoga studios that I've visited don't seem to support my "California Yoga Theory." Where are all of these Californian devotees practicing? Until yesterday I was at a loss, but alas, today I have some answers. Hold tight, today's post will be another one of those looong ones.
FIRST: Who is Rusty Wells? When I first heard of Urban Flow Yoga I learned that at its head was the illustrious Rusty Wells. I had never heard of this person and I pride myself on poking my nose around all yoga business, always. Ok, maybe only when it suits me. Admittedly, I do not even have a subscription to Yoga Journal. Can I tell you who Rusty Wells is? Well, actually, no I cannot, but I did do some research. He appears to be a charming, charismatic, and very fit yoga instructor that is quite the fixture in San Francisco. He's the founder of Urban Flow Yoga, and a devotee of many a well-known teacher including the likes of (my beloved) Swami Visnudevananda (and the Sivananda tradition from which Rusty got his beginnings), Baron Baptiste, and Sri Dharma Mittra (lo! another Dharma devotee!) I've never practiced with Rusty (yet) but after only one class at "his" studio I can somewhat see all of these influences. It would seem that Rusty is a charming, dimpled man that has devoted his life (since the 1990s anyway) to yoga. To some, he just is yoga. To others, Rusty is truth…or at least according to a Persian woman interviewed about Rusty who confessed that Rusty (or something that sounds like it) is "truth" in Farsi. Well, truth be told, I am more than a little curious to take a class with him.
Ok, now, URBAN FLOW:
I watched the videos featured on the Urban Flow's website to begin my research for writing this post and I am conflicted to report that I was initially nauseated by them. As I watched all three videos, and then even one more for good measure I realized that my disgust was based in confusion and jealousy. Confusion, first, because this is not the yoga that I was drawn to nor the yoga I ultimately studied. Secondly, jealousy, because I really love the tradition that I've studied so devoutly but I find that it has changed my dream of being a yoga teacher and I've had trouble reconciling its principles with the normal yoga classroom dynamic (ultimately, I don't really teach…yet). Urban flow, by comparison, is popular. Really popular…like they had a security guard (no joke!) outside the door for the rush hour class.
Urban Flow's evening classes boast attendance in the hundreds. EVERY NIGHT. That is insane. Perhaps it is because it is the only donation based studio in San Francisco, but perhaps it is something more. Bhatki. This is as interesting a concept to me as it is perplexing. According to UF, Bhakti Flow is "yoga of love and devotion to the God of one's own unique understanding." If that isn't a beautiful statement, I'm not sure what is, and yet somehow I struggle with Bhakti. On the surface I believe that I'm culturally strained to accept the Bhakti package that I most often receive, which is Hinduism. I'm not really a religion kinda girl and I've already sworn off the one of my upbringing, so it feels strange and stressful for me to joyfully chant the names of many Gods from yet another religion I do not practice. Yoga teachers and studios often go to great lengths to make sure that the religious origins and underpinnings of yoga don't alienate practitioners but the truth of the matter is that if you are practicing a vedanta based yoga then yoga is inextricable from religion. I've done vedanta based yoga, and although I feel slightly out of place (seemingly everyone is known as Vishnu something-or-other) I really enjoy it. While I can't really generate the same energy and attitude, it is a warm and welcoming environment. It is against these people's basic life principles to treat me with the same mistrust that I harbor towards them! Muwahaha.
This soul searching raised a few questions for me:
*Do I have yoga all wrong?
****Hopefully, I do not have yoga ALL wrong. I think what I suffer from is being extremely biased towards one way of thinking and that I have a somewhat closed mind to other interpretations and presentations of yoga. I often feel like a theater enthusiast that studied greek classics that is surrounded by Tarantino fans. There is nothing wrong with Tarantino, and whether or not he acknowledges Greek tragedy as his origins they are linked.
*Why am I such an uppity yoga bitch?
****So I've read the yoga sutras. Whoopee. A lot of people have read them, and for pleasure…not because they had to. And, ultimately, many people who read them once have gone back to read them countless times and have even read several versions of them. I wasn't even the best student of the sutras (that title, was reserved for my pal Jason, who I think still sleeps with his copy of the sutras under his pillow). And yet, even though I was a lack luster student of the English translations of the sutras, I still get all judgy when I go to yoga classes. Confusingly, I feel holier than thou. Silly, silly uppity yoga bitch. I need to work on that.
* Should I take another, very different, 200 hr yoga teacher training?
****Who knows, it seems like it would be a very formative experience for me. I'm so mired in the one tradition that I've studied and practiced that I feels superior to other schools of thought. This feels not only very un-yoga, but destructive and retarding. (ha, I love properly using the word retard.) In yoga we often talk about samskaras (patterns) and mine are so deeply seeded and don't seem to be coming through in the most positive of ways. It could be beneficial to change my samskaras or add new ones. Anyway, most awesome yoga teachers (or at least famous ones) boast many trainings with all sorts of fancy and well known yoga gurus.
*Why is some yoga popular and other yoga not really?
**** If you know the answer to this question, then I beg of you, tell me. The best I can do is a shot in the dark. I propose that a) yoga has been distorted by the media etc. as merely a means towards a sick body and stress relief. This causes many people to be disappointed by slower more introspective classes. Also, b) many people associate yoga with hippies. When they go to a yoga class they want to be magically transported to Woodstock. A disciplined environment is probably a real turn off for these people. Places like Dharma Mittra, Jivamukti, Urban Flow, etc that promote Kirtan kinda are like Woodstock. Everyone's all in a loving mood, the music is upbeat…there is a lot of swaying
and acid. It feels good…and the bottom line is that people like to feel good. I suspect this is what makes yoga like that popular.
Forgive my VAST digression. Back to Urban Flow yoga. I'll save you from death via suspense. I like what is going on there and am moved to (sporadically, I'm sure) continue visiting this studio. I'm sure that they are popular for a reason, and I can feel it simmering under the surface. Ah,the surface. For a donation based studio, its got really nice digs – expansive – and a friendly staff. It even has a semi convenient location at Van Ness and Mission. I'll forgive them the fact the website actually says they have "varied and hip music" and "use a state-of-the-art sound system" because I've recently been inspired (by my experience with Urban Flow) to be less of a judgey, dour, bitch face. Hell, I might even say that the music was varied and hip (although I've grown accustomed to yoga in silence.) The studio also employs interesting, yet useful practices like a "no touch chip" if you don't want your yoga teacher to molest you (as I surely would if I was teaching you.) I'm also a fan of the practice of advisory. The website has this warning: "If you are not someone who enjoys a jubilant sweat-fest of Bhakti flow, this may not be the right class for you."
Well, you've been warned of the sweat fest, and ranted at, to boot. Urban Flow? Sure.

Angela Carlsen found courage, art and a chihuahua/corgi puppy on her five-month solo U.S. road trip.
The Halifax artist is exhibiting mixed media on aluminum images celebrating roadside icons of gas stations, curio stores and food stands, now largely abandoned, at Argyle Fine Art to April 13.
"I think of it as a reflection on the golden age of automobile travel from the 1920s to the late 1950s when the automobile was becoming mass-marketed so everybody started to travel and all the businesses tried to be unique and compete for the road traffic.
"I have always loved road trips," she says simply, her 10-month-old Okie in her lap during an interview at Argyle Fine Art.
Carlsen set out alone at the end of August in a van and travelled from Maine to Death Valley in California and back, across the lower part of the United States, taking photographs of boarded-up gas stations and still-functioning food stands like the Fresh Donuts Drive-In in St. Louis, Mo.
"They have great doughnuts!"
When she was in Oklahoma, she pulled into a produce stand.
"I stopped to buy vegetables and the woman didn't even say hi. She said, 'Do you want a puppy?' Actually, I was thinking a couple of peppers."
Carlsen got back in her van and sat there, staring at the woman and a child.
"The woman didn't seem to care, and even the kid didn't seem to care about this dog. The dog was shivering under the stairs."
She got out of the van, took the puppy and named her Okie.
"She's been my comic relief. Now, as soon as I get in the driver's seat, she's up on my lap and good to go."
Carlsen's journey was a personal one as well as professional.
"I just wanted to know if I could do it since I'd dreamt about it for so long — if I was strong enough, if I would get lonely."
It was important for her to travel alone.
"I wanted to be able to do what I wanted, to decide to go left instead of right at the last minute.
"When you're by yourself you're forced to meet people and trust your own instincts."
Carlsen had her biggest mishap at the beginning of the trip. She had stopped in Maine to have her computer fixed and the store owner offered to do it for free, so she offered to take him to dinner. First, they stopped at one of his friend's houses. She asked to use the washroom, got up and fainted.
Carlsen was taken to hospital and spent five days in Maine with the store owner's family before getting back on the road.
"They told me it was low blood sugar and dehydration. Now I drink a lot of water!"
On the road, Carlsen took hundreds of photographs without thinking of what she'd do with them until she got home. Her 2011 exhibit, Arizona NEON, focused on period neon signs from a shorter trip on the fabled Route 66 in Arizona.
This exhibit focuses on the minimalist lines of gas stations and food outlets. They are blocks of concrete, often with wild signs that dominate a simple space of sky and ground.
Carlsen's process is to look at an image then pare it down.
"I remove the background. I work with probably 400 or 500 per cent magnifications in Photoshop and make sure my lines are good. It's like sculpting with pixels.
"I have to take out trees and bushes and cars. I want it to be minimal but striking," says the artist, who likes the graphic design in old postcards and travel posters.
Some of her skies are yellow, some are orange. Others are a bolt of blue with a white cloud.
"For the sky and ground I play with colours. It's a lot of playing."
Carlsen, a NSCAD graduate and photographic artist for over 15 years, saturates her colours.
"I want them to be vibrant."
The images are printed, as a reverse image, on transfer film by Image House, using a technique Carlsen worked out with them to print transfers on wood for her Arizona show. "They're fantastic."
For this show, she placed the transfer film face down on a piece of aluminum that she had sanded and scratched. What the viewer perceives as the colour white is bare metal.
"I want them to have kind of an old rusty sign look and a little more depth to them. It's just another way to challenge myself with a new material," says Carlsen, who plans to further experiment with metal.
Already, she is planning her next trip. "I want to go in June, which is entirely optimistic."
She plans to head for Utah, Montana, Colorado and Wyoming. Instead of a van, she wants to travel in a car with a trailer and take advantage of the free camping in Bureau of Land Management territory.
"I'm definitely not done. I'm definitely my happiest when I'm out there driving."

During my time at the University of Mary Washington, I took several Digital Studies courses. One course required that we do several audio assignments, using Audacity. The first assignment was to create a commercial advertising anything we wish. I chose to make a 1950s McDonalds commercial, wish you can listen to below:
For my second assignment we had to create a story using only sound effects. The class I was taking was a noir-style course, so I decided to make a murder-esque story. Using sounds I found on freesound.org I was able to create this audio segment found below:

The purpose of this scope of work document is to layout the foundation for the Player UI sprint. We need to figure out all of the things that are going to change, and why they'll be changing. Again, as a thinking-out-loud process, its going to benefit me to write this, in order to organize my development. Plan, write, plan, write, etc.
After just finishing up the Login UI with the new Burnblade UI assets, we'll be moving on to the Player UI. So, one was the pre-login UI, now we're doing the post-login UI. This is going to include all of the in-game UI assets, such as health bars, action bars, etc. Lets get started.
Cleanup & Unification
So, after finishing the last sprint, its apparent that we need to combine the LoginUI and the GameUI under some common umbrella. Right now the two systems are seperate and don't like to talk to each other. They have their own ways of dealing with things. In addition, we've also got another UI that needs mentioning; the UI elements that correspond to combat damage, chat messages, health bars, etc.
Lets list these out and try to come up with the correct names:
- Client UI – This is the pre-login UI.
- Player UI – These are the UI elements that coorespond to the player we're logged in as.
- Game UI – These are all of the things that float above players, monsters, etc. Nameplates, healthbars, etc.
Now that we've got our naming schema sorted out, how are we going to Unify these things. Well, lets say that they all belong to something we call the "Interface". The interface is managed at a top level by the "InterfaceManager". This manager handles all of the high-level managing of interfaces. Then below that we have the ClientInterfaceManager, which we just wrote for the last sprint. I'm starting to see a visual coming together, so lets graph it up real quick.
On the left hand side, we've got the actual heirarchy of game objects. Each with their respective canvas so they display at the correct 'height'. On the right hand side, we've got our interface managers. The TextManager that is being shown here is currently already in place, but will probably get merged with the GameInterfaceManager. This looks pretty good, I like this. Writing it I'm sure I'm going to run into problems and issues, but so far this seems to be a pretty good start.
UI Element Changes
Okay, so now that the cleanup and unification stuff is out of the way, lets discuss the changes to the UI. Some of these are changes to already existing UI elements, and some of these are completely new functionality. Lets try to list what we already have.
- Chat Window – displays chat messages that have been said by players near you.
- Logout Button – logs you out
- Keybinds Button – displays the keybinds menu.
- Keybinds Menu – shows all of the keybind settings.
- Outfit Button – displays the outfit menu.
- Outfit Menu – displays options for changing the color settings of your outfit.
Thats a good start. Now lets think ahead at what we'll need. So, lets take a look at our long-term development timeline, and list out of the future sprints. Lets also discuss ui changes for each of these points.
- Inventory – the ui implications are pretty obvious for this one. We'll need a character inventory panel so they can equip items, and a backpack to store misc items.
- Items – as above.
- Abilities – we'll need an abilities action bar. We might also need an 'abilities menu' or a spellbook so they can click and drag abilities onto the action bar. We'll also need all of the resource elements that allow players to use abilities (health, mana, stamina).
- Combat – might need an indicator to show whether or not in combat.
- Death & Respawn – will need to display a death icon, and a respawn button. Also handling transitions.
- Map Update – no change.
- Monsters – no change.
- Loot – will need a way to display loot for a killed monster.
- Experience & Levels – will need ui elements to show experience, experience bar, experience distribution with the multi-class feature, etc.
Okay, so this scope is starting to get kind of large. Starting to look like a 2 week sprint minimum. Anyway, lets get to the next section.
New UI Structuring
At this point its clear that there's a lot of work to be done. Its also clear that we need to visualize how all of this will look. Lets go back to YED and graph it up again.
So, as we can see, we've got 4 main UI elements in our design. List and describe:
- Action Bar – the action bar holds all of the icons for the players usable actions.
- Health Bubble – the health bubble displays the players health.
- Mana & Stamina Bubble – this bubble displays the players mana and stamina.
- Main Menu – the main menu has a number of sub menus.
Now lets try to tackle what will be in the sub-menus of the main menu.
- Inventory Menu – displays the character slots, as well as a backpack for misc items. (this will change later on)
- Outfit Menu – displays color options for outfit.
- Settings Menu – displays options for visual settings, keybinds, etc.
- Logout Menu – displays confirm, or cancel buttons.
Some of these things will be purely scaffolded. Like the inventory menu. Too many things in relation to inventory are still a mystery for me, so there no point in nailing down the UI completely.
I think I have enough of an understanding as to what will need to get changed to get started. I'm sure as always there will be things that I can't see right now, but thats normal. Next up, writing the sprint document, and then we get started.

The eight-week bribery trial of ex-Cuomo administration aide Joseph Percoco presented a complex case that almost naturally ended with a complex jury verdict.
The eight-week trial on bribery-related charges—in which Percoco and three businessmen were the defendants—often cast the culture of New York state politics in an unflattering light.
Percoco, once regarded as the right-hand man to Gov. Andrew Cuomo, was convicted on Tuesday of two counts of conspiracy to commit honest service wire fraud and solicitation of bribes, but was found not guilty of soliciting bribes, extortion under color of official right and a related conspiracy charge.
He faces up to 50 years in prison, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Percoco—who according to trial testimony has long been close with the Cuomo family, beginning with the current governor's father, Gov. Mario Cuomo—was accused of taking part in a pay-to-play scheme in which he allegedly used his position to help executives whose companies had business before the state obtain government contracts.
Cuomo, a Democrat seeking election this year to a third term—and who is widely rumored to be considering a run for the White House in 2020—was not accused of any wrongdoing in the schemes.
Percoco stood trial alongside Peter Galbraith Kelly Jr., a former executive for Competitive Power Ventures, which sought a power purchase agreement with the state for its power plant in Orange County; and former COR Development executives Steven Aiello and Joseph Gerardi.
The COR executives were accused of funneling $35,000 in bribes to Percoco for his help in securing contracts for projects in the Syracuse area and Kelly was accused of setting up a plum "low show" job for Percoco's wife as an education consultant for CPV that paid $90,000 per year.
With regard to the counts against Kelly, the jury deadlocked on charges of paying bribes and conspiracy to commit honest services wire fraud, and U.S. District Judge Valerie Caproni of the Southern District of New York, who presided over the case, declared a mistrial on both counts.
Gerardi was found not guilty on all counts.
Aiello was found not guilty of paying bribes and making false statements, but was found guilty of conspiracy to commit honest services wire fraud.
The verdict comes after what appeared to be intense deliberations among the jury of five men and seven women, which issued two notes through the deliberations stating that they had deadlocked. One day early in deliberations, three jurors asked to be dismissed from the case.
Assistant U.S. Attorneys Janis Echenberg, Robert Boone, David Zhou and Matthew Podolsky handled the prosecution of the case.
In a statement released after the verdict, Interim U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman of the Southern District of New York said that Percoco was convicted of taking bribes and for selling a "sacred obligation to honestly and faithfully serve the citizens of New York."
"As every schoolchild knows, but he corruptly chose to disregard, government officials who sell their influence to select insiders violate the basic tenets of a democracy," Berman said.
The U.S. Attorney's Office did not respond to a request to comment on whether or not it would retry Kelly.
Percoco is scheduled to be sentenced on June 11 and Aiello is scheduled to be sentenced on June 14.
Cuomo has been silent about his top aide's indictment and, when asked by reporters, he has said he'd let the judicial process take its course before commenting. Following the verdict, though, his office issued a statement in which he said there is "no tolerance of a violation of the public trust."
"The verdict demonstrated that these ideals have been violated by someone I knew for a long time," Cuomo said. "That is personally painful; however, we must learn from what happened and put additional safeguards in place to secure the public trust. Anything less is unacceptable."
Schulte Roth & Zabel partner Barry Bohrer, who represented Percoco, said the defense found an inconsistency in the jury's verdict and that it is reviewing its appellate options.
"It was a difficult time and place to be trying a case involving Albany politics, there is no question about that," Bohrer said. "We think that it was a much closer case than some were led to believe and I think the jury's verdict is a reflection of that."
Dennis Vacco, former New York attorney general who is now with the Buffalo-based Lippes Mathias Wexler Friedman and who followed the case, said that, for sentencing in the case, it is likely that the government will seek to base the loss valuation in the case on the government contracts procured in the schemes, rather than the roughly $300,000 that Percoco received.
Vacco also said an interesting wrinkle in the verdict is the fact that they deadlocked on whether Kelly was guilty of the counts against him regarding the low-show job for Percoco's wife, but that Percoco was convicted of the same honest services wire fraud conspiracy for which Kelly was charged. The inconsistency appears to leave a "ripe issue for appeal," Vacco said.
"It's another interesting twist that will give the defense team a lot to think about," Vacco said.
Throughout the case, jurors heard testimony that showed a darker side of dealmaking in state government that included a pricey fishing trip and a fundraiser in a garage full of Corvettes—a car for which Cuomo's affinity is known, according to trial testimony—that resulted in a $125,000 in campaign donations from COR that was split into five chunks and filtered through LLCs without COR in the name.
Much of the drama in the case occurred during the testimony of Todd Howe, the government's star witness a former lobbyist for Whiteman Osterman & Hanna whose friendship with Percoco goes back decades, when the two men worked on the campaign for Gov. Mario Cuomo, Andrew Cuomo's father.
As part of his cooperation agreement with the government, Howe pleaded guilty to eight counts related to the alleged pay-to-play schemes.
In addition to providing details about the schemes and his own role in facilitating meetings between Percoco and his co-defendants, Howe testified that Percoco continued using his state government office while he worked for the re-election campaign and that Percoco would call state employees while he was working for the re-election campaign.
The prosecution also relied heavily in the case on the colorful emails—often laden with code words and private jokes«that circulated among Percoco, Howe and the trial's co-defendants. One of those code words, according to prosecutors, was "ziti" (sometimes spelled "zitti")—a nod to a quote from the HBO television series "The Sopranos"—which stood for alleged bribe money.
Prosecutors said the emails made it appear that Percoco, Howe and Percoco's co-defendants were engaging in a criminal conspiracy.
In emails, which made up the bulk of the government's exhibits in the case, Howe and Percoco jokingly referred to each other as "Herb," a reference to Herb London, who was defeated in the 1990 gubernatorial election as the Conservative Party candidate
The evidence showed they also made cracks about Kelly's weight, referring to him as "fatso" and calling the arrangement "Operation Fat Man."
In the prosecution's summation, Zhou portrayed the language used in the emails as the speech of criminals rather than public servants.
For their part, the defense attorneys put their efforts into eroding the credibility of Howe, focusing on his myriad financial and legal troubles that includes a past wire fraud conviction and a slew of nonpayment lawsuits from mortgage lenders,
Howe was arrested on Feb. 9 after admitting on the stand that he had neglected to disclose his past wire fraud conviction while filling out an application for disability insurance in 2014 and that he had fraudulently contested the purchase of a hotel room at the Waldorf Astoria in Manhattan, apparently in violation of his cooperation agreement with the government. Key testimony in the case also came from Linda Lacewell, Cuomo's chief of staff, who said that Percoco continued to use his executive chambers office in Manhattan while he was managing Cuomo's 2014 re-election bid and not working in state government.
Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie, when speaking with reporters in Albany regarding the verdict, made no pledges that the verdict would inspire calls for new ethics legislation, saying that, while there "always seems to be a thirst for a new bill" the counts against the defendants in which the jury found them guilty were already against the law.
"When there's a verdict that says there's a violation of the public trust, it's a tough day in Albany," Heastie said.
But state Sen. John DeFrancisco, a Syracuse Republican who is running for governor, said the verdict shows that there should be a "change at the top" and that it should be a catalyst for reforms such as giving the state comptroller more oversight, increasing oversight on proposed economic development contracts and limiting the powers of the governor.
"The Senate has to reject every single additional attempt for the governor to be able to do what he wants to do when he wants to do it, whether right or wrong or legal or illegal," DeFrancisco said.

In order to incorporate this separate province, the UK's official name is 'The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland'. This is the part of the country that has no connection with the main island of Great Britain and is the only part of the nation that actually has a land border with another country (The Republic of Ireland).
Northern Ireland occupies the north-eastern corner of the island of Ireland. It has a population of just over one and a half million people and this only makes up 2.5% of the UK total.
As far as the United Kingdom is concerned, it is impossible to mention the province without at least loosely referring to the problems that have existed here, especially over recent decades. Tensions have existed between Catholics and Protestants and every effort is being made to bring about a lasting peace that will see all sections of the society live in complete harmony. The 'Good Friday Agreement' did go the furthest towards this end under the old Labour Party administration.
Many inhabitants of Northern Ireland (especially the Catholics) would prefer to become a part of The Republic of Ireland. The Protestants are mainly proud to be included as a part of the UK. The other three nations of the United Kingdom feel as though they have a massive cross to bear, with Northern Ireland, and are very annoyed that they are not consulted as to whether or not this province should remain a part of their nation. It is clear that governments do not offer such a referendum as they already know what the answer would be.

Life truly is sweet – depending on the perspective you choose. The best days in my life have been lived with rosy-pink tinted Pollyanna view finders on. Finding the good things that add a little sweetness to life was easier with them.
For a while life dealt some doom and gloom, my spectacles were misplaced, but eventually they bubbled their way back to the top of the heap. Reminding me that any burden bearing down needs an equal force to lift it back up.
Think happy, smiles, laughter, warm fuzzies. Things that cause, inspire and multiply is what I am after. You can't always have your nose to the grindstone, or work hard without some reward.
To borrow a favorite phrase of Natalie Schubert's – "best ever!" is a good description of this segment of my blog. Those things – people, places, events, in general stuff, that adds a little sweetness to life (especially when life has become burnt and sour).
So here's to looking on the brighter side. Taking a moment to appreciate that which adds a little extra sugar to an already sweet life.

All Phonemic Awareness articles
If you are planning to purchase a literacy program for instruction, get as much information as you can about a program's benefits and effectiveness. This article provides basic comparative information about a range of commercially available literacy programs.
Learn some best practices in helping children with language processing issues learn to read in this Q&A with expert Nanci Bell, director of Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes. Find out what works with children who have weaknesses in concept imagery or symbol imagery.
Discover simple at-home activities you can use to help your child understand the connection between the letters of the alphabet and the sound associated with each letter.
The What Works Clearinghouse reviewed the research on two practices used in center-based settings with 3- to 5-year-old preK children, as well as a number of specific curricula. Positive results are shown for (1) Phonological awareness training and (2) Interactive and dialogic reading.
Additional and explicit instruction in phonological awareness is a critical component in helping fourth grade readers who struggle with phonological deficits. The exercises can be used as a warm-up prior to reading, spelling, or vocabulary instruction.
Blending (combining sounds) and segmenting (separating sounds) are phonological awareness skills that are necessary for learning to read. Developing your child's phonological awareness is an important part of developing your child as a reader. Learn how working on phonological awareness can be fun and easy below.
Phoneme awareness is the ability to identify phonemes, the vocal gestures from which words are constructed, when they are found in their natural context as spoken words. Children need phoneme awareness to learn to read because letters represent phonemes in words.
Learn the six types of syllables found in English orthography, why it's important to teach syllables, and the sequence in which students learn about both spoken and written syllables.
Kindergarten is where most children learn to read and write. Though some kids can do this before entering kindergarten, it is not required or expected. Being ready for kindergarten means having well-developed preschool skills, and being academically, socially, and physically ready for the transition. Here are some signs that your child is ready for kindergarten.
Learning to read is a challenge for many kids, but most can become good readers if they get the right help. Parents have an important job in recognizing when a child is struggling and knowing how to find help. Here are some signs to look for and things to do if you suspect your child is having trouble reading.
Nursery rhymes are important for young children because they help develop an ear for our language. Both rhyme and rhythm help kids hear the sounds and syllables in words, which helps kids learn to read! Here are some activities and recommended poetry books to aid your child's developing poetry, rhyming, and rhythm skills.
The earliest clues involve mostly spoken language. The very first clue to a language (and reading) problem may be delayed language. Once the child begins to speak, look for difficulties with rhyming, phonemic awareness, and the ability to read common one-syllable words.
An informal assessment of phonemic awareness, including what the assessment measures, when is should be assessed, examples of questions, and the age or grade at which the assessment should be mastered.
Activities that stimulate phonemic awareness in preschool and elementary school children are one sure way to get a child ready for reading! Here are eight of them from expert Marilyn Jager Adams.
Creating a word family chart with the whole class or a small group builds phonemic awareness, a key to success in reading. Students will see how words look alike at the end if they sound alike at the end — a valuable discovery about our alphabetic writing system. They'll also see that one little chunk (in this case "-an") can unlock lots of words!
Moms, dads, or grandparents can play simple word games with kids to increase their ability to recognize and use letters and sounds. Try these games the next time you're on the go.
Children's knowledge of letter names and shapes is a strong predictor of their success in learning to read. Knowing letter names is strongly related to children's ability to remember the forms of written words and their ability to treat words as sequences of letters.
Phonemic awareness is the ability to identify, hear, and manipulate the individual sounds in spoken words. Manipulating the sounds in words includes blending, stretching, or otherwise changing words.
Identifying a reading problem is a challenge without a sense for what typical literacy development looks like. Find out what language accomplishments are typical for most children at the age of three to four.
Research-based guidelines for teaching phonological awareness and phonemic awareness to all children are described. Additional instructional design guidelines are offered for teaching children with learning disabilities who are experiencing difficulties with early reading.
Research shows that the very notion that spoken language is made up of sequences of little sounds does not come naturally or easily to human beings. The small units of speech that correspond to letters of an alphabetic writing system are called phonemes. Thus, the awareness that language is composed of these small sounds is termed phonemic awareness.
Children go through phases of reading development from preschool through third grade — from exploration of books to independent reading. In kindergarten, children develop basic concepts of print and begin to engage in and experiment with reading and writing. Find out what parents and teachers can do to support kindergarten literacy skills.
Children go through phases of reading development from preschool through third grade — from exploration of books to independent reading. In first grade, children begin to read simple stories and can write about a topic that is meaningful to them. Find out what parents and teachers can do to support first grade literacy skills.
Children from a variety of backgrounds struggle with learning to read. However, as described in this article, research points to one common reason they struggle, and common strategies to help them succeed.

|think critically or die trying, Stela // Starchild Stela
In an interview on The Art of Getting Ovaries, I've learned that Stela sees her work not as "street art" but more as a "hybrid form of graffiti" most often using spray-paint, but not painting letters. In relation to the historical significance of graffiti she speaks to it as a form of resistance, "talking back, reclaiming the space that is controlled by people beholding power."
Stela was asked if her graffiti takes on a social message, in addition to style, or if it was a combination of both. She says it's both. "I love adding a little feminist twist to my pieces. I don't' really intend to add a social message to my pieces, the words I add often reflects the discussion I'm having with friends. But indeed we are talking about what matters to us, and what makes us pissed off. I guess the social message resides in the eyes of the viewer too."
|cats against cat-calls
|fuck you and your macho bullshit
While Stela talks about how her graffiti is a combination of both style and message, for her, it is primarily about self-care. "It's a way to make me feel better first, a way to cope with society's and personal bullshit. I like adding sentences like, "Think critically or die tryin'" or "Fuck your macho bullshit" under my characters." It's clear that the presence of Stela's work in our public spaces is resonant with viewers.
If you are interested, I really suggest checking out her interview where she touches on "the value of finding a peer to paint and talk feminist politics with, her social and political aesthetics, public reception and how painting helped her 'reclaim her girlhood' and her feminist identity, the value of illegal graffiti, and being an out queer graffiti writing wishing for a community."
Wall of Femmes loves what you are doing, Stela!

The Church of the Good Shepherd is an inclusive, diverse, Christ-centered community located in the heart of downtown Rocky Mount. The first services of the Episcopal Church in Nash County were held in 1854 at a nearby location close to the former Braswell Memorial Library (now part of the Imperial Centre Complex). Within 20 years, Good Shepherd had been built and dedicated to the glory of Almighty God as the center of worship life for Episcopalians in Rocky Mount.
We have been worshiping, praying and serving from this site for nearly 150 years. Our facility has been added to some three times, with additions made for classroom and fellowship space in 1924, 1960 and most recently a new parish hall, kitchen facility, parking lot and outdoor worship space in 1997.
- We are an Historic Church—As the oldest church building still in use by an active Christian community in Rocky Mount, we honor and cherish our worship space as a place that nurtures our relationship with God, yet we know that the heart of any Christian community exists not in a temple made by human hands but rather in the temple of our hearts.
- We are an Active Church—with programs, groups, activities and events for people of all ages and interests.
- We are a Sacramental Church—with the Holy Eucharist as the focus of most of our worship experiences.
- We are a Diverse Church—Good Shepherd is a place of and a place for people from many walks of life. We seek to live as a true community of Christ where we view ourselves and our neighbors through the light of the risen Christ not through categories created in the kingdom of this world.
- We are a church seeking to become—At Good Shepherd, we acknowledge that each one of us is on a spiritual journey, a journey to become the person Christ calls us to be, more like him in our words, in our actions and in our spirit. And yet a journey is never complete. In some sense, we are always discovering new ways in which God is challenging and calling us. Good Shepherd is a place to discover the call of God. We welcome you to join us!

Prosecutors are seeking to disqualify the judge who acquitted McHenry County State's Attorney Louis Bianchi, alleging "the appearance of impropriety."
The prosecutors charged today that Winnebago County Judge Joseph McGraw received thousands of dollars in payments from the same state agency that, among other things, is challenging the prosecutors' legal fees in the case.
Last month, McGraw found Bianchi not guilty of all charges that he used his office employees and equipment to do campaign work. McGraw is set to preside over Bianchi's second trial in June on charges of official misconduct involving his handling of criminal cases.
In their motion, prosecutors stated that McGraw received at least $6,250 last year from the Illinois State's Attorneys Appellate Prosecutors Office for speaking at its attorney seminars. He is expected to speak again this year at an upcoming prosecutors seminar.

Suplena Shower
]So I gave myself a Suplena shower tonight. How? you might ask. Well I have pt who is on a continous tube feed from 8p-4a. I dumped 3 cans of Suplena into the bag and was holding it up in the air to prime the tubing when the part of the tubing that hooks into the bag came flying out and Suplena covered me from head to toe. It literally looked like a bomb had gone off. All over me, my med cart,the floor, everywhere. My friend who is was the nurse on the other hall of the unit laughed so hard she almost fell off her chair. Not to mention one of my favorite residents was sitting at the nurses station when it happened looked at me and said "Looks like you got yourself a sticky situation there." It was a mess I had to have my friend get a new bag, more suplena and start the darn tube feed while I cleaned up my mess. I did the rest of my med pass with big splotches all over my scrubs and stanking of suplena. My co-workers however found it highly amusing.

Dubai fest transforming UAE into major film player
EmptyMORE DUBAI COVERAGE:
EXPANDING HORIZONS: Dubai fest builds UAE into major film player
MAN ON A MISSION: DIFF's Masoud Amralla Al Ali
DIALOGUE: DIFF managing director Shivani Pandy
LOCAL HEROES: Muhr Awards spotlight Arab cinema
SEEN AND HEARD: UAE filmmakers shine in Emirati Voices
Conceived in 2004 as an event that would promote cultural understanding between the Arab and non-Arab worlds, the fourth edition of the Dubai International Film Festival has a mandate of "Bridging Cultures. Meeting Minds." It is an ambition that can be taken almost literally: Geographically and culturally, Dubai stands at a strategic meeting point between the markets of the Indian subcontinent and those of the rest of the world.
Since its inception, the festival has mushroomed from a modest 74-film event into one that will screen 141 films between Dec. 9-16, including several world and regional premieres. Now established as a young but credible newcomer to the film festival circuit, this year DIFF organizers want the festival to become much more than just an exotic location in which to screen films. Organizers are keen to cement the festival's reputation as an international arena for doing business, while bolstering its mission to help develop regional film with a series of industry-friendly initiatives.
"We set up the Industry Office last year to identify the needs of the Arab world, Arab filmmakers and the guests coming in," says DIFF managing director Shivani Pandya. "When people come in from overseas looking at projects, you want to give them a selection that they will be happy with. You want to make sure they tap into the right resources."
Pandya explains that the approach has two goals: on the one hand, to offer emerging cinema an international platform for expression, and on the other, to connect new filmmakers with established producers, distributors and financiers.
"USA Today called us part of the top 20 festivals in the world, which is extremely encouraging because we know not only is the audience interested in us, the industry folks also know we're serious," Pandya says, pointing to 100% growth in audience numbers from 2004 to 2006. Also, "With respect to industry participation, we had over 1,000 delegates last year, a 100% increase over 2005."
The 2007 lineup is certainly indicative of DIFF's international ambitions. The festival opens with the Middle East premiere of Tony Gilroy's legal thriller "Michael Clayton," and the film's George Clooney will grace the red carpet along with Sharon Stone and other, as-yet-unconfirmed A-listers.
"This conspiracy thriller will be an exciting and memorable way to start off DIFF 2007," says artistic director of international programming Simon Field. "Mr. Clooney's return to the region means we have come full circle, from Dubai as a backdrop for the film 'Syriana' (2005) to DIFF as a platform to showcase his latest venture."
The festival is subdivided into nine programs, with films selected from an original pool of more than 600 entries. Of the nine, DIFF's Cultural Bridge program is a key element, a section designed to highlight issues of conflict and cultural misunderstanding. The gala screening is Fatih Akin's displacement drama "The Edge of Heaven," which took the best screenplay award at the Festival de Cannes earlier this year.
"The Cultural Bridge segment incorporates films from all corners of the world, from both famous directors and new names in cinema," Field says. "It includes some of the best films of the year and ones that explore the urgent issues of our time, optimistically celebrating the bridges people can make across national and cultural divides."
Other sections include the Cinema of the World (which will feature the Middle East premiere of Andrew Dominik's Brad Pitt starrer "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford"), the Cinema of Asia, the Cinema of Africa and Children's Cinema. A Destination Documentary section presents nonfiction works dealing with social and political issues. There is also a considerable selection of independent films from India and Bollywood. "Indian cinema is rich and diverse, and we thought it deserved its own section in the festival because of the large and enthusiastic Indian public here in Dubai," Field says.
In addition to these, several new initiatives have been announced for 2007. Rhythm and Reels is a three-day celebration of music in cinema that kicks off Dec. 13 with the world premiere of "90 Millas," directed by Emilio Estefan and starring five-time Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Gloria Estefan. Following the screening, Estefan will perform her first-ever show in the Middle East.
"This film brings the Cuban experience to life at DIFF," Pandya says. "It fits perfectly with our mandate of 'Building Bridges, Meeting Minds' and underscores the international nature of DIFF, which brings together great artists from around the world."
Though this is an international festival through and through, Arabic-language films, and those dealing with Arabic issues, are reassuringly prominent. DIFF's second key aim is to nurture and develop the UAE's very nascent film industry. The Arabian Nights section features films with a link to the region, while Emirati Voices (formerly called Emerging Emiratis) celebrates up-and-coming talent.
Says Masoud Amralla Al Ali, DIFF's artistic director: "This year we expanded the selection (for Emirati Voices) from five to nine films because the choice was difficult to make, and the films were so diverse thematically."
Al Ali has been a key figure in the development of the festival. Along with Pandya, he has been involved with DIFF since its inception.
DIFF was the brainchild of a small group of people that are still with the festival today: Al Ali, Pandya and festival chairman Abdulhamid Juma. It falls under the auspices of the Dubai Technology and Media Free Zone Authority, a government-owned company that also backs the emerging Dubai Studio City.
While the DIFF is funded by a mixture of government support and public sector partners, by Pandya's own admission, the fest is not a profitable endeavor.
"We don't make money, we're a not-for-profit cultural event," she says.
Juma concedes that the festival is heavily reliant on sponsorship. "It is the strength of our relationships with our public sector partners that provides the foundation for hosting the event," he says.
DIFF has become something of a driving force for the local industry. It helped foster the explosion in local filmmaking that occurred after the Emirates Film Competition was launched in Abu Dhabi in 2001. Then, Al Ali bemoaned the lack of entries and all but gave up his own filmmaking. Today, he is hopeful for the future of the Emirati film industry.
"We want to keep delivering a unique festival and experience in this part of the world, and to promote Arab, international and alternative cinema," he says. "(On) the organizing side, we are doing much better because we know the 'secrets behind the stage': how to promote, how to deliver, how to reach. These are all things that make us confident of having a good festival."
This year, more than 300 entries were received for the Arab Film Competition, or Muhr Awards for Excellence in Arab Cinema, which features projects focusing on the Arab world. Last year filmmakers from the UAE and surrounding countries were given cash prizes for their projects, reflecting the aim of the festival to promote indigenous filmmaking.
Dubai's ability to market itself has always been intended to ensure that the focus falls on Dubai not only as an emerging player in the film industry, but as a destination in itself. It's a post-oil strategy that is serving the Emirate well. The petrol dollars have poured in, turning Dubai into a massive construction project, with new skyscrapers and hotels seemingly opening every week. One charge leveled against the Emirate has always been that its cultural side has been marginalized by a frantically expanding economy. In a typically bold retort to naysayers, the Dubai machine has rolled on regardless, and created one from scratch.
Despite all the progress, Pandya is circumspect in her appraisal of DIFF. "I think it is at a very nascent stage," she says. "It's starting out, but what is really exciting is the rate of growth. I don't think any other city is really seeing that. So everything is happening simultaneously -- the festival's positioning was to put Dubai on the map of the industry, and that has happened to a certain extent. We've got the infrastructure, we've got Dubai Studio City coming up. The idea is to get all the different aspects in place, and then, before you know it, we'll have a really flourishing film industry."

How strong is your magic?
In search of true believers
My plea has so far gone unanswered
As a Reflector, we are unable to harness the mystical forces in the way witches and some humans are able. If it was possible I would definitely be making use of a friendship spell. You know one of those spells like a really really weak love spell. It would speed up the time it is taking to find those willing to provide the urgent help that my race needs.
Since my introduction I have entered the lives of several through the words of the last blog but have found minds that are extremely closed – Not only closed but also cold. There is little room for imagination in them. Without imagination, communication is one way. I talk to people unable to listen.
They said this would be the case. That there is little magic left in the world of humans.
Very few believe that the words I speak are true. That Reflectors are real. That a dark force threaten to destroy us. That if we die so will humankind. This reticence is difficult o understand but understand it I must if I stand any chance of avoiding the looming catastrophe.
What evidence do I have that reaching believers is difficult? So far no one has found the entrance to the Witch Trinity Lure portal. This is a portal that can only be entered by believers. Many have visited the portal as instructed but they have only seen a video. They see nothing else because they do not understand that magic requires effort through belief. They do not search beyond what they see.
Perhaps it is my fault. I didn't reckon on the strength of Haglis Vice. For those who don't know, Haglis Vice is a period in the year that marks the time when the power of witches was removed. It is at this time when humans are at their lowest in terms of mystical energy. The time that lead to the day when the horrific persecution of witches started. Halloween.
You may have felt the change – You've perhaps felt more miserable than normal, more lethargic, more pessimistic, more unsure of your abilities. This is Haglis Vice and all I can ask is that you push past this and strengthen your will. I mentioned last time that the great SiRus Lore, has connected with the hidden three through the books being written by the author David Jones – The Witch Trinity. The pages of these books not only reveal the thoughts of the three witches but they can aid to strengthen your belief. I would, therefore, encourage you to read.
The need for you to find the entrance to The Witch Trinity Lure so you are able to aid our cause and make a difference is really important so I ask for you to do what you can.

Witch Trinity Lure
Remember: Do not just use your eyes.
PS: I forgot to say that you are not alone – A Reflector known as Ava uses the language of humans better than I and speaks with many others through Facebook.

Series: Ideas at Work
Intentional Teaching Comes to Life with Big Shoulders Project
Math can be intimidating for many students, because it appears to be abstract and detached from the real world. Ms. Sheila Houston is among a growing group of teachers who are attempting to individualize their lessons to connect with each students' unique interests and abilities.
Ms. Houston is a first grade teacher at St. Margaret of Scotland School. She has been attending our workshops in partnership with the Big Shoulders Fund, which works with the Office of Catholic Schools.
In the first cycle of these after-school workshops, they spent one 3-hour session intensively planning how participants could tailor a lesson plan developed by the Early Math Collaborative to help their students understand growing patterns.
The lesson revolved around the book The Napping House by Audrey Wood.
The research lesson was designed with preK-K students in mind, but it is always important to be able to "scale up

RICHLAND, Wash.- Talk of nuclear expansion at Hanford, but a new study shows the chances of a new nuclear power plant in the Northwest are low, that's according to the Northwest Power and Conservation Council.
Just Tuesday, hundreds turned out for a meeting on the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership.
The proposal would bring more nuclear to Hanford.
Wednesday, one local resident says it wouldn't bother him to have more right in his backyard.
Just seven miles from Ted Hunter's house is the Columbia Generating Station.
Ted grew up in the Tri-Cities, his dad even worked at Hanford for 37 years, and talk of nuclear power doesn't bother him, but only if it's safe.
People opposed to nuclear power say there are other options, like wind, solar and water; and there's already talk of tearing down dams to accommodate wildlife.
So is more nuclear power a safe, reliable option for the northwest?
There have only been three incidents at nuclear power plants in the U.S. in the last 14 years. No radioactivity was released in any of them.
For now, Ted Hunter will continue to clean up his front yard, ever mindful of his back yard.

John Berger Quotes About EarthQuotes about: Earth
When he painted a road, the roadmakers were there in his imagination, when he painted the turned earth of a ploughed field, the gesture of the blade turning the earth was included in his own act. Whenever he looked he saw the labour of existence; and this labour, recognised as such, was what constituted reality for him. (On Vincent Van Gogh)
Traditional Chinese art looked at the Earth from a Confucian mountain top; Japanese art looked closely around screens; Italian Renaissance art surveyed conquered nature through the window or door-frame of a palace. For the Cro-Magnons, space is a metaphysical arena of continually intermittent appearances and disappearances.

I'm the worst Bond: Roger MooreSeptember 26th, 2008 - 1:30 pm ICT by IANS
London, Sep 26 (IANS) Former Bond actor Roger Moore has confessed that he never took the role of the super spy seriously and that is why audiences found him so funny.Mirror.co.uk reports him as saying: "I'm the worst Bond according to all the polls. I'm generally hated on the Internet. I was too funny, too light. Didn't take the role seriously enough."
He added: "But I mean, James is supposed to be a spy. And yet, he turns up in hotels and bars around the world, and everyone says. 'Ah Mr Bond… We've been expecting you.' The important thing was: Did I get the cheque?"
The 80-year-old Moore also said he could play the role now with a stunt double.
He added: "The wonderful thing about age is that your knees don't work as well, you can't run down steps quite as easily and you can't lift heavy weights. But your mind doesn't feel any different - I could still play Bond."

Guys, i just need a simple YES or NO
When you put a check mark to a button and ask to send component ID, the line i see on the simulator goes out to Nextion serial port and i can read it on my MCU ?
Yes or No ?
Next week i get a FTDI USB to TTL cable and i could monitor on the PC, but i do not have it now. Sorry.
Thank you
New question?
As you already have seen
check box in Send Component ID sends 7 byte
0x65 0xAA 0xBB 0xCC 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF
0xAA byte contains Page Number of component
0xBB byte contains components .id attribute
0xCC byte contains 0x01 for Press 0x00 for release
This you already posted screen shot of 0x65 Return Data Section
of the Nextion Instuction Set.
So every canvas component has both Press Event and Release Event
- every Press Event and Release Event has a corresponding
checkbox for Send Component ID
- simple test in Debug to review results
But this was already established in prior thread. No?
Does mikroC for PIC have both UART and Software Serial lib?
- mikroPascal for ARM does have, should PIC be different?
So such has libraries have both write and read functions ?
What the Nextion Debug simulator shows (serial wise) is accurate
Nextion sends it - it is on the wire
- it is up to you to capture by MCU and choose to react to it
So is the question rhetorical ?
Is there reason to doubt the return data?
[Typos corrected]
Can I read it on my MCU?
- this question (send/receive) is covered in 100+ threads
- suggesting MCU side read/write by MCU side code
is a difficult task for some.
Nextion comes with a set of training wheels of sorts.
- the system variable bkcmd (default 2) sets level of debug.
see Nextion Instruction Set
- most Nextion transmissions is sent with trailing 0xFF (frame end)
so until such frame ends, it remains only part of current frame
frames are fully describe in Nextion Return Data
So reading by MCU should be straight forward, seemingly
- yet many implement in a manner that causes grief.
- the bkcmd variable is there for a purpose, to demystify.
Print and printh are two commands that send frameless data.
The get command is the framed data equivalent
As told earlier,
Mixing of framed and frameless - will involve more code
- many conflicts can result from such mixing
But Nextion indeed contains flexibility of choice
Nextion does not however contain a means for making
frameless its Return Data
Hope this is helpful
inside any event (press/release)
get rtc3 // system variable numeric value 0x71
get n0.bco // numeric attribute 0x71
get va0.txt // string attribute 0x70
get command can certainly be strategically placed.
While you can indeed change (by choice) the structured format
I would argue for capturing the other framed return data.
- Nextion reset/ready
- command success/failure with cause
- auto sleep / auto wake, etc
Path of ignoring what nextion sends leads to
- arbitrary timings and use of delays
- read before data sent and ready
- missed data - data after timeout
One path is fully informative and all is straight sequential
The other path is less informative, blind and assumes.
But certainly you do have choice.
1) 0x03 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF - Page ID invalid
- Nextion Instruction Set - Sec 6 Return Data Table 1
2) Tutorials Tiltbox and Piano use GPIO
- Nextion Instruction Set, cfgpio
3) GPIO uses an FPC 10-pin 1.0mm
- itead.cc for
Expansion Board for Nextion Enhanced Display I/O Extended
Model: IM160530001
Nextion IO Adapter
Model: IM161123001
or create custom as needed
You missed what I told before
- Nextion already has a 0x03 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF
now a double definition of return codes can indeed cause issues ..
Anyhow, cables, and trays
- parts distributor or ebay
